The journalist in question was Sabrina Siddiqui, who was well-known for creating questions that were subtly constructed to support anti-India, anti-Modi, and Islamic beliefs. Sabrina asked,
World leaders have made commitments to protecting democracy. What steps are you and your government willing to take to protect the rights of Muslims and other minorities and to uphold free speech?
Expressing surprise at the journalist’s remarks, PM Modi stated,
I am surprised that you are saying that โpeople sayโ India is a democracy. It is not about what people say; India is a democracy. And as President Biden said, both India and America have democracy in their DNA. Democracy is our spirit; democracy flows in our veins. We live in a democracy, and our ancestors have put that into words in the shape of the Constitution, and our government runs on the basis of the Constitution, which is based on the basic democratic values.
Given her history of displaying an unhealthy eagerness to disparage India and PM Modi’s leadership, it is not surprising that Sabrina Siddiqui attempted to criticize the Indian government on a global stage. Nevertheless, her question also aligns with left-liberal propaganda that paints the Modi government as being hostile toward Muslims.
